Kim Kardashian has removed a tribute to Ariana Grande and the victims of the Manchester terror attack after facing a backlash from fans.

Earlier this week, the reality star, like many other celebrities, took to social media to share her thoughts on the situation.

Kim initially struck the right chord with a tweet reading: "I can't imagine the fear and agony these parents must be going through searching for their kids."

However, she followed that up four hours later with a different tweet that left many raising their eyebrows - but it's now been deleted from social media.

The mum-of-two, who is known for her attention-courting ways (going full-frontal for Paper magazine as an example), had posted a picture of herself with Ariana Grande, who narrowly escaped the blast at the Manchester Arena, where she'd just finished performing.

"Concerts are supposed to be a place where u can let loose & have fun. So scary to not feel safe in this world. @ arianagrande I love you," wrote Kim next to the photo.

While the sentiment was sweet, many of Kim's fans were unsure why she'd picked an image that made her the centre of attention, while Ariana was way over to the left of the snap and not posing in a particularly flattering angle.

Kim, of course, looked great, with the light hitting her cheekbones just so and her little sister Kendall Jenner shouting something in her ear.

"We're never going to forget when you posted an inappropriate pic and made the Manchesterbombing all about you. (Screenshots are forever,) said one of her followers.
